CADCA’s 2015 Mid-Year Training Institute will be held at the J.W. Marriott in Indianapolis, Ind. In honor of Indiana-native David Letterman, here’s our Top 10 list of why you should join us in Indy for this unique training event.

1 – It’s where David Letterman was born and got his start in television.

2 – To see why it’s called the Circle City.

3 – You can “shop ‘til you drop” downtown on a rainy day without ever going outside at the Circle Centre Mall and other stores connected by a skywalk from the J.W. Marriott.

4 – We know how to be great hosts! Indy is home to numerous sporting events (Super Bowl, NCAA Final Fours and Regionals, Big Ten football and basketball championships, Indy 500 & Brickyard 400) and conventions.

5 – Downtown Indy is clean and walkable, with lots of dining options for any palate and budget.

6 – We have the world’s largest (and best!) Children’s Museum.

7 – Where else in America can you take a gondola ride along a canal in the heart of the city?!

8 – There is a world-class zoo, NCAA Hall of Champion, and three major museums within walking distance of the J.W. Marriott hotel.

9 – The Beach Boys and The Temptations will be singing their hits on August 5 at White River State Park, which is just across the street from the J.W. Marriott Hotel.

10 – You’ll get to strengthen the work of your coalition, connect with your peers, and have fun in a vibrant city!
